axulsuv Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Just reassembled my 240 pro yesterday with new double needle brgs. in the swingarm pivot, and can actualy see the stock marzocchi's flex upon compression !!!! It works 100% better with new brgs. but I need new shocks. Has anyone tried the new NJB trikshok W/ the spherical brgs in the eyelets instead of rubber bushings yet ! looks like the hot ticket to me !! Any info helpful Thanks Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgas249uk Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I've got the standard NJB clubman shocks on my 240 and they work ace. I have them on the hardest setting for my 13 stone. If i was any heavier i would go for the professional NJB shocks. I havent seen the ones with bearings in the mounting holes , sounds good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I just gotta ask !!!! what does a stone represent in a weight I might understand ??? Glenn You know old yankee and all that ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtmudnroost Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 1 Stone equals 14 pounds(I think) I have the NJB dual rate springs on my OSSA MAR and they work great. I also have a 240 and was wondering what the Swing Arm bearing mod you are referring too! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) I used two HK2020uu brgs on each side of the swingarm and drilled the arm for greasefittings, then used orings for seals on the inside ends of the the swingarm . just be careful where you drill the holes for the fittings . The shifter side zerk has to be at the bottom fo the tube near the weld or it will hit the engine case , and the chain side one has to aim right at the countershaft . I used miniture angled zerk fittings drilled to mount between the 2 brgs , and when you install the brgs , leave a small gap between the casings so grease from your fitting can get thru . and ounce mounted you have to file the end of the fittings off on the inside of the brg. hole so you can get the brgs in far enough with a slight gap between them over the grease fitting mount hole. I got the brgs. from www.vxb.com , and if your shaft is gouged up you can get a new one from Atelier BMZ in france, www.bmz.fr , a great source for all kinds of old bike stuff ... It sounds like alot of work but was actualy quite easy and well worth the effort to have a smooth ,long lasting swingarm pivot...

dirtmudnroost Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Hey Glenn Thanks for the mod details, I will have to look into performing this task during the winter tear down. Cheers Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
physco Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 any body seen the new rock shocks pete eddy had up scotland at the ssdt for sale any where??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee harris Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hi everone...if you want my two pennies worth....dont use the clubman. They are cheap and cheerful but only have 10mm damper rods and 75mm travel. The experts do evrything i need and I ride in the specialist class of the d-cup. I have not tried the spherical bearing version as they are very expensive! The rubber bushes i have (5 x 240, 2 x 300, 1 x 200 bikes) are ok for me. More important is to get thedealer to give you the right spring rate for your weight in pounds, stones, furlongs or whatever. i got a set for a m8 here in german and he weighs 120 kg or 240 pounds. (god knows ho many firkins that is). steve goode got norman from njb to supply springs for his weight and hes as happy as a cat with two tails.!!! The clubmans also come with two springs fitted(2 rates) I tried this on one set of experts and they were not better, although they cost 15 pounds uk more. jUST USE THE STD EXPERTS: lol lEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
